Everyone is welcome to PEDAL! Please register on our website if you want to PADDLE at the end of the ride: https://www.columbiaslough.org/events-list/pedal-to-paddle-the-columbia-slough-watershed The Columbia Slough Watershed exists because of land, elevation, water, and gravity! We will follow gravity from a high place to a low place through the Cully neighborhood and then paddle in canoes at the Slough, a small, slow, skinny side channel of the Columbia River (also known as Wimahl and Nch'i-Wàna) that is home to turtles, beavers, freshwater mussels, and countless bird species. Route: This 4.2 mile, one-way ride, will begin at the soccer field behind Beaumont Middle School (4043 NE Freemont St) one of the highest places in the watershed (250ft), and will stop at different sites as we descend in elevation, ending at Whitaker Ponds (7040 NE 47th Ave) which is 14 ft in elevation. When we arrive at Whitaker Ponds, all participants will receive a life jacket, paddle, and seat in a boat for our ~1 hour paddle. Check in starts at 9:30am, event begins at 10am.
